Apple - iPod Touch — 

Apple Ipod Touch
2nd Generation

What do you buy a teenager who has it all?  An Apple Ipod Touch! 

The newest from Apple's Ipods is the Ipod Touch 2nd Generation

  • Sleek new design
  • External speakers w/ volume control
  • Free engraving & gift wrap
  • Long lasting battery life (36 hours audio, 6 video)
  • Unlimited apps, many free
  • Internet access, where Wifi is available
  • Check email, watch Youtube videos, download  music & more

My Viewpoint!
Until my son had asked for an Ipod Touch by Applefor his birthday, I hadn't paid much attention to them.  Even while I was researching it online at Viewpoints and the Apple website, I thought it was a colossal waste of money.  His Ipod Nano that is not even 2 years old was still in great shape and I didn't think the Ipod Touch would be that much better.

I ended up buying the Ipod Touchon Apple's website because I was told that they do free engraving on the back of the Ipod and free gift wrap.  I thought that was a cute idea.  The price was the same on the website as it is in the stores sans the shipping.   I still didn't learn alot about theipod Touch on Apple's website so I was a little excited to see what it could do.

I think the Ipod Touch rocks! 

It's basically a little computer with or without ear buds.  With the built in Wifi, I can check email, search the internet, play games, watch videos on Youtube and upload songs, photos, movies and more all through Itunes.

The external speakers and volume control (only in 2nd generation Ipod Touch) makes it easier for more than one person to watch the video or listen to the song.  Usually my son turns his Ipod Touch on and sets it on his dresser and uses it as a radio.  He doesn't have to wear his earbuds all the time anymore!

We really enjoy the Ipod Touch by Apple and since I have inherited the Dinosaur Nano from my son, I will be adding it to my Christmas list this year!

I'm from the old school. I still love to listen to my CDs on the stereo. Right now I am listening to my music that I downloaded to a flashdrive. I did invest in an MP3 player 2 years ago and I love using it when walking/jogging or traveling with others.

Sounds awesome. Although, I'm still in the Stone Age here and am in love with my Shuffle. I might have to upgrade though after reading your review.

I have the iPod classic and love it. I bought it three years ago, I think. I've heard great things about the iPod Touch. I wouldn't mind having an iPod Touch, then I could give my iPod to my brother. First, I have to save some money. LOL. Thanks for info. =) ~Krista Lynn
